I would not put over 1500 lbs on a wood framed floor. I would not put over 900 lbs on an interior wall. I'm a contractor. If you're ever concerned about the weight of a tank, look above the tank. If you start seeing the spackle over the nails, it's too much weight. That'll be you're first clue, as everything else can flex and move, but spackle is not flexible and will crack when the floor is flexing down.

Thanks. Yea my last apt had some serious spackle cracking issues. Not sure if it was due to my tanks or not but I know the building was super old and nothing was straight or level and there had been water damage from a leaky roof evident when looking in the stairwell outside my door to the roof and leaky heaters.... I lost a lot of sleep thinking I heard "noises" all the time.

When I got my current apartment(utilities included) I told my landlord I had fish and snakes. Besides her fear of snakes, her only concern was how much electricity I was going to be using. Never had a problem, but an issue to consider
